INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this portable CO2 meter. The meter measures CO2 level, air temp., dew point, wet bulb temp. and humidity and is an ideal instrument for indoor air quality (IAQ) diagnosis.

Poor indoor air quality is considered unhealthy because it causes tiredness, loss of ability to concentrate, and even illness (ex. Sick Building Syndrome). IAQ monitoring and survey, especially on CO2 level and air ventilation become widely applied in public areas such as offices, classrooms, factories, hospitals and hotels. It is also suggested in regulations of industrial hygiene in some countries. (Appendix)

The portable CO2 meter uses NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) technology to ensure the reliability and long term stability. It’s useful in verifying HVAC system performance and air ventilation control

Features

• Triple displays of CO2 level, temp. and humidity.

• Stable NDIR sensor for CO2 detection.

• Statistics of weighted averages (TWA & STEL)

• Backlight for working in dark area

• Audile CO2 warning alarm

• Battery and adaptor power supply

• Easy manual calibration on CO2 and humidity

• USB PC connection

OPERATION

1. Press “POWER/SET” to turn instrument on and off. At power up, it emits a short beep and performs 30 seconds countdown for meter warm up, then enters normal mode.

2. The meter starts measurement when power on and update readings every second. In the condition of operating environment change (ex. from high to low temp.), it takes 30 sec to respond for CO2 sensor and 30 minutes for RH.

3. Press “DP/WBT” to switch temperatures display. The lower left display will cycle from air temperature, dew point temp., and wet bulb temp. (Fig.1)

Fig.1

4. Press “HOLD” to freeze the readings, “HOLD” icon is displayed on the left top of LCD. All current readings are kept unchanged, except STEL and TWA. Press “HOLD” again to cancel data hold function.

5. Hold down “MODE/p”for more than 1 second to activate and cancel backlight.

6. Press “MAX/MIN” to see the minimum, maximum, and weighted average readings. Each press of it displays MIN, MAX, STEL, TWA in sequence and returns to normal mode. In MIN and MAX modes, it shows the minimum and maximum readings of CO2 on main display, and of AIR/DP/WBT temperatures and humidity on the lower displays.

In STEL and TWA modes, the main display shows the weighted average of CO2 readings for the past 15 minutes (STEL) and 8 hours(TWA), but the lower displays are the current AIR, DP/WB temperatures and humidity readings.

NOTE:

• If the meter is turned on for shorter than 15 minutes, the STEL value will be the weighted average of readings taken since power on. Same for TWA values appear before 8 hours.

• It takes at least 5 minutes to calculate STEL and TWA. The display shows “----” during the first 5 minutes from power on (Fig.2).

Fig.2

• While all readings are held unchanged, STEL and TWA will keep updating every 5 minutes.

7. The instrument emits beeps (Abt.80dB) when CO2 level goes over the set limit and stops when any key (but “POWER“ key) was pressed or readings fall below the set value. It beeps again when value goes over the limit. Restart the meter if beeper can’t be stopped.

Auto Power Off

The meter turns off automatically after 20 minutes of inactivity. To override the function, hold down “POWER / SET” and ”HOLD” for 2 seconds to turn on the meter until “n” appears.

Setup

The advanced setup mode lets you customize your meter. 2 types parameter are available. P1.0: CO2 alarm threshold setting P3.0: Temperature unit setting

P1.0 CO2 alarm threshold setting

Hold down “POWER/SET” under normal mode for more than 1 sec to enter set up mode. To exit setup, press “CAL/ESC” in P1.0 or P3.0. When entering setup mode, P1.0 and “AL” are displayed on the LCD (Fig.3). Press “ENTER” to go into P1.1 for setting CO2 alarm threshold. The current set value will be blinking on LCD (Fig.4). Press “p”to increase the value or “q”to decrease. Each press tunes 100 ppm and the alarm range is from 100 to 9900ppm. When the preferred alarm value is set, press “ENTER” to save the setting or “ESC” without saving and return to P1.0.

Fig.3 Fig.4

P3.0: Temperature unit setting

Press “p“or “q”in P1.0 to access P3.0 for setting up temperature scale. Press “ENTER” and it goes into P3.1 with blinking °C or °F current set on the lower left display. To switch °C or °F, press “p“or “q. Then press “ENTER” to save the setting or “ESC” without saving and return to P3.0.

Calibration Mode

CO2 calibration

1. Place the meter in an outdoor area with well ventilated air. Turn on the meter and hold down “CAL” and “p” simultaneously to enter CO2 calibration mode. 400ppm and “CAL” are blinking on the LCD while performing calibration (Fig.5).

Fig.5

2. Wait about 5 minutes until it stops blinking and the calibration completes automatically and back to normal mode.

3. To abort the calibration, turn off the meter at any time.

Humidity calibration

1. Plug the sensor probe into 33% salt bottle. Hold down “CAL” and “q” under normal mode to enter 33% calibration. “CAL” and calibrating value (32.7% if at 25°C) are blinking on the LCD with current temperature at the left. Meter is now calibrating, and will finish in about 60 minutes when “CAL” and humidity value stop blinking.

2. After 33% calibration, plug the sensor probe into 75% salt bottle, then press “ENTER” to enter 75% calibration. “CAL” and calibrating value (75.2% if at 25°C) are blinking on the LCD with current temperature at the left. Meter is now calibrating. Wait about 60 minutes until blinking stops, then calibration is completed and it returns to normal mode.

3. Users can also calibrate either point. To calibrate 33% only, press “ESC” and exit when 33% calibration is completed. To calibrate 75% only, press “p” or “q”within 5 minutes while initializing 33% calibration. To abort calibration, just turn off the meter.

INTRODUCTION

Nous vous remercions d’avoir acheté ce compteur de CO2 portable. Le compteur mesure le niveau de CO2, la température de l’air, le point de rosée, la température humide et l’humidité ; c’est un instrument idéal pour mesurer la qualité de l’air intérieur (QAI).

Une mauvaise qualité de l’air intérieur est jugée insalubre car elle provoque la fatigue, une perte de concentration, voire des maladies (p. ex. syndrome des édifices hermétiques). La surveillance et l’inspection QAI, particulièrement des niveaux de CO2 de la ventilation, sont très fréquentes dans les espaces publics tels que les bureaux, les classes, les usines, les hôpitaux et les hôtels. Elles sont également recommandées dans les réglementations de l’hygiène industrielle dans certains pays. (Annexe).

Le compteur de CO2 portable utilise la technologie NDIR (infrarouge non dispersif) pour assurer la fiabilité et la stabilité à long terme. Il est utile pour vérifier les performances des systèmes CVC et la régulation de la ventilation.

Fonctionnalités

• Triple affichages du niveau de CO2, de la température et de l’humidité

• Capteur NDIR stable pour la détection du CO2

• Statistiques des moyennes pondérées dans le temps (TWA) et limite d’exposition à court terme (STEL)

• Rétroéclairage pour les interventions dans les endroits sombres

• Alerte au CO2 sonore

• Alimentation sur batterie et avec adaptateur

• Un calibrage manuel facile du CO2 et de l’humidité

• Connexion PC USB
